Chapter 676: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

At dinner time, Wei Zhu and Yue Ting came together. As expected, according to Song Xia's previous instructions, Yue Ting selected two nice clothes and shoes for Wei Zhu.

"Not bad." Song Xia nodded repeatedly as she looked at him. "You girls should dress up more while you are young. If you don't dress up now, you will regret it when you are old."

Yue Ting picked up an orange casually, not paying any attention to Wei Deng's resentful look: "Auntie, you have good skin and a good figure, and you look good in anything you wear."

Wei Zhu also discovered that from last year to this year, her mother's skin became whiter day by day, and even the spots on her face became much lighter.

Song Xia smiled and said, "Maybe I have figured out some things, so I am no longer troubled and my complexion has naturally improved."

Wei Deng sat in the corner, watching his mother, sister, and her friends chatting and laughing, his face looking a little sad again. What he meant by "thinking things through" and having no worries" was that he meant that he would not pamper himself in the future but would pamper his sister instead?
Now he was a little confused. How could he suddenly figure out such deeply rooted ideas?

Isn't my sister going to get married in the future? When she gets married, she will belong to someone else's family? With Mom's attitude now, does it mean that she will not ask for a dowry when my sister gets married in the future? If I don't ask for a dowry from my sister, how can I marry Mo Ru in the future?
During the meal, Song Xia seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "Nowadays, if you can get married, you can get married. If you don't want to get married, you don't have to get married. Many people get divorced because of a small matter, which eventually hurts both parents. The two children's property is divided, so how to calculate the property and energy that the two parents have invested in this marriage?"

"That's right." Yue Ting nodded. "People nowadays are putting the cart before the horse when it comes to marriage. Although parents urge their children to get married, isn't it up to them in the end? Many people complain online, saying that getting married is like getting married for their parents and having children is like having children for their parents. Parents can't even take a break, otherwise they'll be complained about."

"However, some parents are indeed too strong-willed. They will threaten their children if they don't get married and have children. But getting married and having children is a freedom granted by law. How can you force your children to do that? This is a major life event. If you decide to get married and have children, you must take responsibility. Some people force their children to get married before they are ready to take responsibility, which ends up hurting themselves and others."

"I don't know what's wrong with this society. There are contradictions everywhere. I have severed ties with my parents, but I don't live as miserable a life as they do."

"Not everyone is as brave as you and knows how to handle things, Tingting. Auntie admires you very much."

Yue Ting smiled shyly: "Auntie, you are too kind. It's just that I suffered too much when I was a child, and now that I have grown up, I want to live for myself."

"So I also learned some lessons from these people's complaints online."

When Wei Deng heard this, he felt his heart skip a beat again.

As expected, Song Xia continued, "In the future, I will never urge Wei Zhu and Wei Deng to get married or have children. When they feel they have the ability to take responsibility and the determination to raise a family, they will naturally make mature choices. I won't say too much and blame me for a bad outcome."

"Mom, how can I blame you? You think too much, it's nothing!"

"Yes, Mom, you are the elder, your advice is of course important."

Both siblings looked at her, but one spoke seriously while the other was unsure.

Song Xia still shook her head: "Mom is not well educated, and can't compare to you all who are college students. Of course, your thoughts can keep up with this society, and it's your life, so you should make your own decisions." Wei Deng said in panic: "Mom, are you going to ignore me in the future?"

"Of course not. Mom is still your mom. You just have to learn to grow up and take responsibility on your own."

In fact, she said these words today on purpose for Wei Deng to hear, to give him a heads-up that if he wanted to marry Mo Ru in the future, he would have to take on the responsibility of the family himself, and no one would pay for his laziness and willfulness.

Although the food was delicious, Wei Deng still had a hard time swallowing it. When Song Xia prepared two dishes for him and asked him to pack them up to take back to school, he was still a little absent-minded.

"Mom, did you say anything to my brother this afternoon?" Wei Zhu whispered as she watched her brother leave.

"Well, I just talked to him about the fact that it doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. I guess it will take him some time to accept it."

Wei Zhu opened her mouth. She didn't expect her mother to be so quick. Does her mother really not intend to spoil her younger brother in the future?

"This child, there should be a limit to how much you spoil him. The more you spoil him, the more useless he will be. Mom is doing this for his future. If he doesn't grow up, who will take on the family responsibilities when he wants to get married and have children? Should you let your wife make sacrifices? Then she will run away? Should you let me take care of him? I'm old, and I just want to live a peaceful life for a few days. If you come, that's even more impossible. You're just his sister, and you have no responsibility for him. So if you want his future to be good, you must correct his point of view now."

Yue Ting enjoyed the meal happily: "Auntie, you are so cool!"

She now sincerely envies Wei Zhu and admires Aunt Song. It is really not easy for someone like Aunt Song to correct her own ideas at her age.

Unfortunately, her parents don't have this awareness, so she will never go back and will never hand over her money.

"Thank you for your compliment, Auntie. People should keep pace with the times. Auntie may have been too influenced by the environment in the past. After all, she grew up in such a family, and lived around people who had prejudices against men and women. After coming to the provincial capital, she has seen more people and naturally has more insights. Look at Uncle Zhao, how happy he is living with his daughter now? He even gave half of his family property to his daughter, and his son had no objection. The relationship between the brother and sister is harmonious. It can be seen that his education is correct."

"What if Weiden doesn't make any progress in the future?"

"After all, I gave birth to him and spoiled him since he was young. I didn't establish the correct concept of education for him, so I won't completely ignore him. If he is really useless, I will just leave him enough money for basic living expenses, and nothing else."

Wei Zhu was still soft-hearted and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't ignore my younger brother in the future."

"Who asked you to care about him? Just live your own life. If you care about him too much, will your future husband and children have any objections? This is unfair to them. Okay, it's too early to talk about this now. Don't worry about it. Before your mother dies, you don't have to care about your brother."

Song Xia thought to herself that when she was too old to move, even if Wei Deng continued to cause trouble, he would not be able to do anything and would not be able to persecute her daughter Wei Zhu.
